Glenavon's Cooper wanted by Bristol City

English Championship club to take winger on trial

Bristol City are interested in signing Glenavon winger Joel Cooper, and will take the youngster on a trial.

The 20-year-old scooped the Young Player of the Year award last season - his first campaign in the top flight after the Lurgan Blues captured Cooper from Ballyclare Comrades.

The Northern Ireland Under 21 international was one of two highly-rated youngsters called up to train with the full international squad at this summer's European Championships in France, alongside Linfield's Paul Smyth.

Glenavon are scheduled to play a Bristol City Under 21 side on Wednesday July 21.
